Cameren was patched up and released from the hospital Wednesday night.

Jalontae was doing better Thursday but is still hospitalized.

His mother remains at wit's end about how it happened.

"You came up on the curb," Lai-Lonni White said.

Police are inspecting the car to see if there was any mechanical defect that might have contributed to the crash.

A urine sample was taken from the 36-year-old driver to judge if she was impaired at the time. The toxicology results could take days or weeks.

"We want to see if the driver had anything in her system that would have led to this crash happening because the car left the roadway, went onto the sidewalk", said Lt. Bruce Hoffbauer of the Cincinnati Police Traffic Unit. "It was kind of a strange course of events."

So far, the woman who was at the wheel has not produced proof of insurance or a valid driver's license.

For relatives of the boys who were injured, that adds to the suspicion.

Westwood Avenue feeds downtown from the West Side with a series of s-curves, heavily traveled at times.

However, at the time of the crash, police found no unusual conditions.

"It's kind of strange that the car would leave the roadway and strike these two boys on the sidewalk", Lt. Hoffbauer told WLWT News 5. "I don't know of an accident in my career in that area where a car left the roadway up onto the sidewalk."

Police have ruled out excessive speed as a factor.

What they find through reconstruction and toxicology will be critical to any conclusion.

If it's a mechanical malfunction, it goes down as an accident.

If impairment, it could turn into a felony.

When contacted on Thursday, the woman who drove the car told WLWT, "I don't have anything to say right now."

She and her 7-year-old passenger in the back seat were both wearing seat belts and were uninjured.
